A/N: So apparently sticking to a schedule is a lot harder than I'd anticipated; somehow whole weeks manage to fly by and I still haven't updated... so this is going to be a double update because I suck so much at posting regularly. Enjoy!

Chapter 25:

"Guys?" Puck addressed the glee alumni before him as Rachel, Kurt, Blaine, Sam, Brittany, Santana, Mercedes, Artie, Mike and Tina all crammed into the recovery room the following morning "Meet Lucy Puckerman," he picked up Lucy, who was blinking at him benignly, and held her so the group could see as Rachel let out a dramatic gasp and the rest of the group gave a small 'aw',

"She's perfect, Noah!" the brunette singer gushed, and Puck rolled his eyes jokingly as he handed the baby over to her to hold.

"Hi angel," Rachel cooed "I'm your aunt Rachel, and I'm gonna spoil you and your big sister Beth so much when your mommy and daddy let you stay with me!" Quinn beamed at her friends as Rachel handed the baby to Blaine and Kurt, who were next in the circle; this was how it was supposed to be after you had a baby; she was supposed be feeling the pride and pure joy she felt at that moment as she watched Lucy grab hold of Santana's finger, making the new bride look up ecstatically at Quinn, not the emptiness she felt when she'd passed Beth over to Shelby, or the distance she felt from Puck that day, she inwardly cringed as she remembered, but the smile soon returned to her face as she felt Puck's arm slink around her shoulders and pull her so he could place a loving kiss on her forehead,

"We did it, babe," he said gently "we're a family,"

Puck's family visited after the glee kids left, his mother going on about how he gave her another perfect granddaughter, and his sister Sarah positively bursting with excitement as she sat on one of the chairs and Puck handed her her niece to hold,

"Watch her head!" Puck warned, lunging forward to grab the baby, who was in no danger whatsoever, as Sarah smirked before turning back to Lucy.

"She's fine," Quinn grabbed her husband's wrist, and he begrudgingly backed off.

"I'm so proud of you both!" Mrs Puckerman gushed as Sarah handed over the new baby "Noah, honey, you're going to be such an amazing dad!"

"He already is," Quinn smiled as Puck rubbed the back of his neck shyly.

"Aw! Getting all awkward, big brother?" Sarah teased, punching his shoulder lightly "This new baby has made you soft already!"

"Not soft enough to beat your ass!" Puck smirked in return.

"Noah!" his mother scolded "Not in front of my granddaughter!" Puck rolled his eyes and went back to pestering his sister as Quinn laughed.

The light mood continued as Quinn's mother and sister arrived that afternoon, bringing Beth with them,

"Quinnie!" Judy breathed as she spotted the baby in Puck's arms "She's beautiful! What's her name, honey?"

"Lucy," Puck supplied, Judy looked up at him tearily, and he nodded.

"Oh Noah!" she gushed, Frannie rolling her eyes as she went over to hug her sister,

"Was she this emotional when Beth was born?" she indicated her mother, who was cooing to the baby in her arms as Puck watched like a hawk from where he sat in the corner with Beth.

"She barely saw her," Quinn answered, and Frannie gave a sympathetic smile as Beth impatiently wrenched herself from her father's grasp,

"Mommy!" the little girl yelled, and Quinn shushed her, smiling as she threw herself up on the bed and squashed her mother in a hug.

"Shh honey, you don't wanna upset your baby sister!" Beth's eyes widened,

"Sister?" she asked excitedly, and Quinn nodded, beckoning Puck, who now had Lucy in his arms, over.

"This is your baby sister Lucy," the blonde smiled as Puck held the baby closer to the five year old.

"Hi Lucy!" Beth said in a little voice "I'm your big sister Beth!" she looked up at her parents, who both beamed down at their children before sharing a look,

"I love you," Quinn said as she gently ran her fingers through Beth's curls.

"I love you too," Puck returned, cradling the baby and gently patting her side "come here," and with that he leaned in to steal a quick peck before Beth pushed her parents apart.

"Gross!"

A/N: OK but big sister Beth is one of my favorite things to write, she's such a cutie! I hope you guys enjoyed that, and the next chapter won't be too far away!
